Garlic Butter Salmon: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe for 4


  • Author: Ava Reynolds
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– Salt, to taste
– Black pepper, to taste
– Lemon wedges (for serving)


Instructions

Creating Garlic Butter Salmon is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prep your work area: Gather all the ingredients and tools you’ll need, including a non-stick skillet or frying pan.
2. Season the salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
3. Heat the skillet: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until bubbly.
4. Add salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving them, allowing a crust to form.
5. Flip the fillets: Carefully flip the salmon using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the salmon is just cooked through.
6. Make the garlic butter sauce: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet along with the minced garlic. Stir occasionally, allowing the garlic to become fragrant (about 1 minute).
7. Add parsley and lemon juice: Stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice. Make sure to coat the salmon fillets with the garlic butter sauce.
8. Check for doneness: The salmon should be opaque and flake easily with a fork. If needed, cook for an additional minute or two.
9. Remove from heat: Once done, take the skillet off the heat and let the salmon rest for a minute in the garlic butter.
10. Serve: Plate the salmon, drizzling it with the remaining garlic butter from the skillet.
